Hello,
It has been 5 years since I have finished college. I plan on applying to pharmacy school next year. I completed a masters program, so I will have recommendation letters from 2 professors from my masters program. I would like to get another letter from a chemistry professor from college. My question is- since it has been a few years since college, is it okay to ask the professor for a letter?

As long the professor actually remembers you well enough to write a good letter then I don't see any problem with it.
