pharmocology studies the effects that drugs exert.
one aspect of pharmaceutics regards the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, of medications. But it also deals with delivery systems, stability, sterility, etc.
A Pharmacist is someone who has studied these (and a whole lot more) and is responsible for sythesizing information from all these disciplines to make sure you get the right drug, at the right dose, taken the right way, for the right amount of time, and helping you understand what to look and look out for.

Pharmacists administer drugs, and can advise people and doctors on the best drugs to treat certain diseases.
Phamacologists deal with the research aspect of drug develpoment. This involves the interaction and metabolism of drugs in the body.
From my friends studying pharmaceutical, it involves the study of the chemical behavoir of drugs.
I am a pharmacology student, and I love my course. I believe a degree in pharmacology is not as demanding as Pharmacy. Pharmacists have to learn how to interact with thier community as well as their academic work which involves aspects of pharmacology and pharmaceutical.

Pharmacist is a person who deal with drugs and have the right to disoense drugs...
Pharmacology is a science of the properties of the drugs and their effects on our body. It include pharmacokinetics (Absoprtion, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion) and phamacodynamics(how tthe drugs act in the body) of the drugs.
Pharmaceutical is something that is related to pharmacy.

Pharmacist is a professional degree (you become a registered pharmacist) where you count pills and call insurance companies all day. It pays well, but it's tedious and repetitive.
Pharmacologists study chemicals, their efficacies in treatments, develop treatments, etc. They might have a PhD in medicinal chemistry or molecular biology or biochemistry. You won't earn as much as a pharmacist, but your research and peer interactions will be more satisfying, IMO.
