Both math and science...
You need to understand biochemistry. You need to understand how certain medications control reactions within the human body. You also need to be able to dilute or compound medications. It is a multidisiplinary occupation. It is a full-time program for 5 years at most universities that offer it as a degree.

More science, I would say, but some math is important, too. You pretty much have to know the names of all the drugs and what they do. The education is very science intensive. Biology, chemistry, anatomy, etc. A licensed pharmacist has almost as much education as a medical doctor. Try working as a pharmacy technician, and see if you like it before committing to five or six years of college.

We have to be good at a whole lot more things than math or science. In short we need to know everything related to drugs.
