Why isn't generic Prilosec available on the shelves of US stores?

There is a generic (Omeprazole) that is now available. You can order it online, but it comes from India and it takes a very long time to receive it. They used to sell it on eBay, but they had to stop (?). Anyone know what's going on?

    I'd say that the US copyright is still in effect. So, no company can legally sell the generic in the US. Some countries outside of the US don't pay attention to our laws.
