A drive and dosing apparatus for an injection device for administration of a liquid product, in particular a drug, wherein product doses to be administered repeatedly can be set with the drive and dosing apparatus, including: a) a housing and a dosing member which can be gripped in particular by the user of the drive and dosing apparatus and which is rotatable relative to the housing for setting a product dose to be administered, b) an actuating member which is actuable in particular by the user of the drive and dosing apparatus and which is displaceable relative to the dosing member for dispensing the set product dose, c) a product container having a displaceable piston and a forward drive member whose distal end is provided to act on the piston of the product container fixed to the drive and dosing apparatus, d) an abutment, wherein the forward drive member is movable relative to the abutment in a dispensing direction to cause dispensing of the set product dose, e) one or two compression springs (11; 11a, 11b) which act between the forward drive member and the abutment and which are prestressed in the delivery state of the apparatus and which are prestressed with so much energy that they can dispense the amount of product which can be dispensed at a maximum from the product container in a plurality of individual dispensings, f) a rotation member whose rotation relative to the housing provides that the one or the two compression springs (11; 11a, 11b) can move the forward drive member in the dispensing direction, and g) at least one coupling means (9e, 1b) which by actuation of the actuating member enables rotation of the rotation member relative to the housing and by release of the actuating member blocks rotation of the rotation member relative to the housing, characterised in that (i) the one compression spring is supported against the abutment and a shoulder of the forward drive member, wherein a portion of the forward drive member, that extends distally of the shoulder along the longitudinal axis is of a length greater than the spacing between a proximal end of the product container and the piston when the piston is in the position in which the amount of product which can be dispensed at a maximum from the product container is dispensed, or (ii) a first compression spring of the two compression springs is supported against the abutment and against an intermediate member, wherein the intermediate member is spaced along the longitudinal axis from a proximal end of the product container or contacts the proximal end of the product container when the amount of product which can be dispensed at a maximum from the product container is dispensed. a) a housing and a dosing member which can be gripped in particular by the user of the drive and dosing apparatus and which is rotatable relative to the housing for setting a product dose to be administered, b) an actuating member which is actuable in particular by the user of the drive and dosing apparatus and which is displaceable relative to the dosing member for dispensing the set product dose, c) a product container having a displaceable piston and a forward drive member whose distal end is provided to act on the piston of the product container fixed to the drive and dosing apparatus, d) an abutment, wherein the forward drive member is movable relative to the abutment in a dispensing direction to cause dispensing of the set product dose, e) one or two compression springs (11;
