The interviewer wants to hear about your greatest weakness as a pharmacist to see that you are self-aware and can identify an area that needs improvement. When you admit you have a deficiency in a particular aspect of your profession and take steps to improve, it shows the interviewer that you are motivated and inspired to grow professionally.
Describe a weakness related to your profession but not one that is an essential job duty. For example, suppose you say your weakness is your verbal communication skills. In that case, the interviewer may pass you over for another candidate since that skill is an essential part of being an excellent pharmacist.

"My greatest weakness is remembering people's names when I first meet them. I understand it is a weakness in this profession because I need to remember my patients' and colleagues' names. I recently bought a book called 'How to Remember Names and Faces' by Luis Echeverria. He is a Memory Master Champion and guarantees success by reading his book and practicing memory training exercises. I have been reading the book for a week and have already found I remember people's names and faces better. I am confident this weakness will become a strength when I finish the book and the exercises."
