A structure, which has both a drug holding capability and a sustained
release ability utilizing a liposome and mechanical strength of a
polyhydroxyalkanoate. This structure is excellent in holding capability
for hydrophilic drugs and other water-soluble substances, as well as
lipophilic drugs and other hydrophobic substances, and is capable of
controlling the sustained release ability. The polyhydroxyalkanoate coats
at least a part of the outer wall of the liposome.
