Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation of a pure drug substance into a tablet, capsule, suppository, injection, pessary, cream, ointment, eye-drop, inhalation et cetera which is acceptable for use on or by a patient. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pharmaceutics"
Pharmacists are health professionals who practice the art and science of pharmacy. In their traditional role, pharmacists typically take a request for medicines from a physician in the form of a medical prescription and dispense the medication to the patient and counsel them on the proper use and adverse effects of that medication. In this role, pharmacists ensure the safe and effective use of medications. Pharmacists also participate in disease state management, where they optimise and monitor drug therapy – often in collaboration with physicians and/or other health professionals. Pharmacists have many areas of expertise and are a critical source of medical knowledge in clinics, hospitals, and community pharmacies throughout the world. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pharmacist"

Pharmacogenomics is the branch of pharmaceutics which deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms with a drug's efficacy or toxicity. By doing so, pharmacogenomics aims to develop rational means to optimise drug therapy, with respect to the patients' genotype, to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Such approaches promise the advent of " personalised medicine", in which drugs and drug combinations are optimised for each individual's unique genetic makeup. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pharmacogenomics"
Pharmacy (from the Greek φάρμακον = drug) is the profession charged with assuring the safe use of medication. Traditionally, pharmacists compounded and dispensed medications on the orders of physicians. More recently, the term has come to include other services related to patient care including clinical practice, medication review, and drug information. Some of these new roles are now mandated by law in various legislatures. Pharmacists, therefore, are drug therapy experts and the primary health professionals who optimize medication management to produce positive health-outcomes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pharmacy"
