The manufacturing costs are irrelevant for new drugs. If the drug companies couldn’t sell them at a profit, they would never develop them in the first place.
There is an issue with some old out of patent drugs that costs a lot despite being very cheap to manufacture, but that typically has to do with FDA certification deciding who can be allowed to produce what, which is also expensive to obtain.
