In Spain, diapers for non-hospitalized adults with severe incontinence can be obtained directly from pharmacies, with a corresponding prescription or through networks of healthcare or social care (primary care centers, nursing homes, etc.). In both cases these products are financed by Social Security. With inpatients. the medical center acquires the product through competitive bidding, which considerably lowers its prices. The CNMC says the supplies to pharmacies fixed prices of adult incontinence items at the expense of the public.

Already several of the accused companies have announced plans to refute these claims. On their company websites, both SCA, whose share of the fine was reported at €294 million, and Ontex, whose share of he fine is €5.5 million, announced plans to appeal these decisions. Procter & Gamble has been granted immunity due to its cooperation in this investigation and will not pay a fine.
