Abstract
A liposome-entrapped calcitonin composition and method of use is disclosed. The composition when parenterally administerd to a host mammal, produces an enhanced and prolonged hypocalcemic effect in said mammal and thus is useful in treating diseases related to abnormal skeletal metabolism. The liposomes are substantially free of cholesterol and may be single or multilamellar.
