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.

Pharmacology is the research of new drugs in labs and such. Pharmacy is working in pharmacies distributing medicine to the local community/hospital. If you want to be a pharmacist, you do pre-pharmacy for 2 years, then you apply to pharmacy school.

Pharmacy is a profession that is charged with ensuring the safe use of medication,
therefore pharmacists deal with end products whereas pharmacologists deal with research.
pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical chemistry however, deal with production, dosage form design and chemical compounds that go into a drug

Pharmacology (in Greek: pharmacon (φάρμακον) meaning drug, and logos (λόγος) meaning science) is the study of how substances interact with living organisms to produce a change in function.
Pharmacy (from the Greek φάρμακον = drug) is a transitional field between health sciences and chemical sciences and a profession charged with ensuring the safe use of medication.
