Doxycycline Monohydrate vs Hyclate

Are pharmacists allowed to change between the two? Or do they have to get the doctor's OK. What's the difference exactly?

Doxycycline hyclate v monohydrate

What's the functional difference? I know they always cost different because insurances will cover one and not the other, but why are they even different? Asked our hospital pharmacist who just said "it's a different salt". Different pharmacokinetics? Different side effect profile?
