Abstract
A medication delivery device having a housing having a proximal and a distal end, a medication receptacle designed to be engaged with the distal end of the housing by engagement of a first engagement feature with a second engagement feature and a dosing mechanism. The dosing mechanism includes a piston rod which is rotatable and moveable in a distal direction for medication delivery and a drive device for moving the piston rod in the distal direction for medication delivery. The medication receptacle includes an actuation element that brings a guiding element in a guiding position. The guiding element guides the piston rod for medication delivery. The first engagement feature and the second engagement feature are moveable into engagement by a movement of the medication receptacle which ends in a rotational movement without axial movement of the medication receptacle with respect to the housing.
