Abstract: The invention relates to liposomes for pulmonary application, advantageously comprising at least one first and at least one second phospholipid, cholesterol, and at least one active substance and/or colorant, wherein the first phospholipid is a phosphatidylcholine, preferably DSPC, and the second phospholipid is a phosphatidylcholine or an ethanolamine, preferably selected from the group DMPC, DPPC, DPPE. It is thereby advantageous if the first and the second phospholipid are present at a molar ratio of 0.5:1 to 10:1, preferably at a ratio of 6:1 to 2:1, in particular preferably at a ratio of 3:1. It is further advantageous if the molar ratio between phospholipids and cholesterol is between 10:1 and 1:1, preferably between 6:1 and 3:1, in particular preferably 4:1. The second phospholipid is further preferably DMPC or DPPE, in particular preferably DPPE. The size of the liposomes is advantageously between 0.05 ?m and 5 ?m, preferably between 0.2 ?m and 2.
