The present invention relates to ceramic precursor material exhibiting injectability and properties that make the material suitable as a carrier material used in drug delivery. According to the invention this is accomplished by selecting a microstructure based on pre-reacted phases and after injection established phases, which contain anti-infective and/or anti-inflammatory drugs. The present invention also relates to a cured ceramic material and a method of manufacturing said cured material. The precursor and the cured ceramic material according to the present invention can suitably be used for filling orthopaedic cavities and other bone voids.
