Pharmacognosy and Pharmacology both study medicine, but they do different things. Pharmacognosy look at natural stuff and what help people, but Pharmacology study all medicine, even man-made, and how they work in body.

They are different part of pharmacy. Pharmacognosy is only about nature medicine, Pharmacology is about all medicine and what happen in body.

Pharmacognosy is study medicine from nature, how to find them and also what they do. You learn it more in BPharm or pharmacy courses, not much in MBBS.

But in MBBS some small part of Pharmacology may teach about herbal medicine or natural products.

In India, people usually study Pharmacognosy in BPharm, which is 4 years degree in Pharmacy.

After BPharm, you can study more in Pharmacognosy in MPharm or do research, which take 2 years.

BSc Radiology and Imaging Technology is better for direct and high paying hospital jobs (INR 5–10 LPA) with faster career entry but BPharma offers more diverse and stable roles in manufacturing, sales or even retail pharmacy (INR 2–5 LPA).

You should choose Radiology for tech or diagnostic work and BPharmacy for chemistry/medicine sales. 

Hope this helped solving your doubt! All the best!
