Why doesn’t a different brand of omeprazole work as well as Prilosec OTC?

I usually just buy the over the counter Prilosec OTC at the store but this time there was a similar product next to it with seemingly the same ingredients. The only difference I could see is that the Prilosec OTC is magnesium coated, but they both had 20mg of Omeprazole and are both time-released. The thing is the new medicine I bought doesn’t nearly work as well as the Prilosec and I was just wondering if the coating could be the difference or if someone could explain what the difference might be?
