Many drug companies do this~~ when their patents run out, they use the active metabolite as a new drug. Other examples are Claritin to Clarinex albuterol to Xopenex Seldane to Allegra Because potencies change with metabolism, milligrams will look different, typically lower. But in essence it is the same drug in the body, doing the same things. It is NOT a new entity.
