A nebulizer includes a replaceable container with fluid to be nebulized. The container includes an inseparable indicator device. The container and the indicator device are axially moved during nebulization and tensioning of the nebulizer. The indicator device controls locking of the nebulizer against further use if a predetermined number of uses has been reached or exceeded.
