A dispenser (1) has two remote pressure handles (29, 35) and lateral gripping recesses (58) for mutually displacing two units (2, 3) axially and rotationally. A tear-off web (52) prevents the two units (2, 3) from being actuated accidentally. A discharge stud (34) protrudes beyond the handles (29, 35, 58). The dispenser (1) is so small that it may be fully enveloped and covered by one user's hand. Nevertheless reliable actuation for nasal application is assured.
