A shield activated drug delivery device for delivering a plurality of fixed doses comprising a housing, a drive mechanism comprising a drive element (180, 280) adapted to rotate and thereby rotate and axially advance a piston rod (109, 209), wherein the drive mechanism is adapted to expel a dose of the plurality of fixed doses, in response to activation. The injection device further comprises an activation mechanism, and a locking-and-resetting mechanism for releasably locking the shield in an activation position, in response to rotating the shield, and for inducing a rotational movement of the shield, in response to the drive element releasing a releasable lock. |
