Abstract: A container for holding and dispensing a liquid and/or dissolved active substance, for example a pharmaceutical or cosmetic active substance, has at least one dispensing organ (5) for dispensing, preferably in a portioned manner, the one active substance. Provision is also made for at least two holding chambers (9, 11) separated from one another, at least one of which contains the one active substance and at least one of which contains an at least largely active-substance-free liquid and/or a further active substance differing from the one active substance, wherein the dispensing organ is connected to the at least one chamber containing the active substance for dispensing purposes.
