+++Aleh!: Epic translation! (To make it 100% perfect, you could say "a single pharmaceutical")

Elena, PERHAPS here sounds a little like you're not sure. In this case, I would say "...costs some $600M"

Uly, "одного лишь" лекарства means "не только лекарства". So, is "single" an appropriate word here?
