The International Conference on Contemporary Science and Clinical Pharmacy 2021 (ICCSCP) was organized by The Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Andalas. ICCSCP was first time held in 2018. This year, we organized this conference for the second time, albeit virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This event is as part of the faculty's 57 Anniversary celebration. This international conference consists of seminars with parallel oral on pharmacy and health topics. The main focus of this international conference is the current updates on the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 has been one of the most challenging health issues nowadays, affecting many aspects of our lives, including health, education, and the economy. The joint effort from researchers in various institutions leads to breakthroughs on COVID-19 prevention and treatment and provides evidence-based policymaking. Relevant to these situations, the conference will cover the current policy and scientific works regarding COVID-19 from the pharmacy and health science fields.

The speakers at this conference are experts in the field of pharmacy and chemistry from Indonesia and overseas. ICCSCP 2021 has keynote speakers and invited speakers from the United Kingdom, Sweden, Kuwait, Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia who will share their experiences in the latest topics on Natural Products, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Clinical Pharmacy, and Social Pharmacy.

The ICCSCP 2021 proceedings cover all areas of the pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. This proceeding provides a permanent record of what was presented. We would like to express our thanks and appreciation for all of the reviewers who helped us maintain the high quality of manuscripts included in the proceedings published by Atlantis Press. We would also like to extend our thanks to the organizing committee, scientific committees, volunteers, and all parties, for the excellent teamwork and their great effort to bring the success of this conference and proceeding.

We look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming conference.
