Abstract

A nebulizer (1), in particular inhaler, having a pre-installed container (3) is proposed. The nebulizer comprises a securing member (30) preventing fluidic connection or opening of the container in a delivery state. The securing member can be manually opened, removed, released or destroyed by torsioning, by opening along a pre-determined breaking line and/or by means of an actuator (50). This facilitates handling.
