The general summary would be that pharmacy is a professional field and area of study, while pharmacology is a more specific science that is studied either in its own right or as a part of pharmacy or other fields like medicine. Essentially, pharmacology is the science pertaining to the effects of drugs on the body. In studying it, you learn about such things as receptors and how drugs interact with them, the biochemical functioning of various bodily systems in both normal and disease states and how drugs can affect them, etc.
