hello there!

hope you are doing well...

B.Pharmacy is a 4 year Bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutical Science

s. Pharma D on the other hand is a Doctoral Programme for a duration of 6 years. Both courses are pursued after your 12th in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Mathematics. A Bachelor's degree is an Undergraduate degree after which you can pursue Masters and then a Ph.d probably if you want. But a Doctoral Degree is a better course than Bachelors. So if you take up B.Pharmacy, you might have to pursue Masters later. But if you take Pharma D, you needn't pursue any Master's course as Pharma D is a Doctoral degree. In both the courses, you get to study the drugs, their reaction, pharma logical structure, chemical bonding etc. But with Pharma D,

you also get to learn the diagnosis of the condition, treatment, therapeutic usage of the drugs and their prescription. The opportunities, scope and salaries differ because B.Pharmacy is just an Undergraduate degree while Pharma D is a Doctoral degree. And Pharma D is on the higher end of the scale in regards to opportunities and salaries as well.

So if you have to choose one among these 2, Pharma D is advisable.

i hope this helps

goodluck!
