The cost to make aspirin is minimal. The way drug industry work is that they spend 10- 20 billions in research and development of a new or improved drug. Then they have 20 years in which they can enjoy a monopoly ie only that company can make and sell that product. After that a generic product can be made by another company. The cost of manufacturing aspirin or generic version is miniscule. Source www.everycost.com
