If you are interested in Pharmacy stream, then maths is not needed, if you choose Maths, as your main subject, you are unable to take Pharmacy. So, choose the PCB in +1 to go to Pharma field.

Pharmacy doesn't have anything to do with complex mathematics but still, some basic mathematics is required which almost everyone would have learned in their school.
