The invention relates to a discharge device for discharging a fluid product, for example, in the form of a syringe. The discharge device comprises a housing (1), which bounds a reservoir (16), and a piston (23), which is slidably arranged in the housing (1) in a longitudinal direction in order to discharge the fluid product distally from the reservoir (16) through an outlet opening (13). A window opening (15) is formed in a circumferential side wall (11) of the housing (1). An insert element (3) is inserted into said window opening (15) perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction. The insert element (3) protrudes into the reservoir (16). In this way, a motion of the piston (23) can be limited in the proximal direction in order to prevent the piston (23) from falling out, and the metering of the fluid product can be made easier in that the insert element (3) establishes a detachable locking connection with an advancing element (27) for the piston (23).
