What is the difference between pharmacy and pharmacology?

  • Answer:

    Im a pharmacology student and everytime I tell someone I study pharmacology they ask me 'so is that like pharmacy or what?' A pharmacologist studies what a drug does to a body and also what the body does to a drug. A pharmacist will deal with the end products of a pharmaceutical insudtry - namely mix, supply and advise dosages of drugs. A pharmacologist will research drugs and aim to produce new drugs for the pharmacist to play with. Study pharmacy if you want to work with people. Study pharmacology if you want to get into pharmaseuticals. from a UCL pharmacology nerd.
