The aim of the present study was to formulate methylprednisolone acetate -Eudragit(®) RS100 nanofibers and nanobeads by the electrospinning method. The physicochemical characteristics of the prepared electrospuns were assessed as well. The particle size and morphology were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy.
