They are metabolized very differently - one in the liver and one in the kidneys (I can never remember which one is which) I had a clinical trial doctor (an MDS at a nationally known site) deny this - but I have never decided if (1) he were just stupid and didn't know his facts or (2) he hated it when patients searched the internet and came to him with their own questions & opinions. At this point, I'm leaning toward #2.
