Here in the Selection Factors for FSW:

have your foreign education assessed by an agency approved by CIC to show it is valid and equal to a completed Canadian credential.Footnote 2
You must include your Canadian credential or your foreign credential and Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report when you apply.

Now, I have degree in pharmacy but worked in NOC B (pharma sales). Do i get points for "Professional Degree", 23 points or would it be counted as a regular bachelor's degree, 21 points?

Note that I have entered it as professional degree in my EE profile and got an ITA.

You get the points for your education as evaluated on your ECA. You don't enter points by yourself. And I believe that CIC defines professional degree on the site - I think it is M.D., J.D., etc - don't know if pharmacy is included.
