It's about individual preference and convenience of dosing. Other than that there is no major difference. You can go with either one.

Both medicines have the same basic composition and both seem to have the same strength of dosage. You should ask your doctor directly the reason of change as they both belong to the same group of drugs. You can safely take either as they basically are the same.
