That cost is most likely just a marginal production cost and doesn't include fixed costs of r & d, which is the big part of the price tag for pharmaceuticals. You also have to factor in all the failed drugs that were researched and not approved or just failures.

repeating the answer given by pharmaceutical lobbies eh ? r&d costs are overestimated and most of the time confidential, how convenient. Not even mentioning that in france at least, a good chunk of that r&d cost is financed by the government itself.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
