No, almost completely memorization. The drugs are primarily broken down into groups. Memorize and you will do great.
pharmacology
In the sense of "hardness" that's meant by the terms "hard science" vs. "soft science", chemistry is definitely on the hard side of pharmacology (or any other biological science). If you're asking if it's a harder subject than pharmacology ... not really, especially since you'd need to have already taken several basic chemistry classes to even have any hope of understanding a pharmacology class.
Pharmacology class typically covers the study of how drugs interact with the body to produce therapeutic effects and potential side effects. Students learn about drug actions, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions. The class may also cover topics such as drug development, regulatory aspects, and the importance of patient safety.
The study of medicine is called pharmacology.
