A dosing mechanism for a drug delivery device is provided for selecting and dispensing user-variable doses of a medicament. The mechanism includes a housing, a piston rod, and a drive configured to rotate the piston rod and/or a movement application component directly engaged with the piston rod in a dispense rotational direction relative to the housing. A rotational end-stop mechanism terminates dose dispense and includes a first engagement element rotationally fixed to the piston rod and/or the movement application component, and a second engagement element that is constrained against rotation relative to the housing at the end of dose dispense. To improve dose accuracy, the second engagement element remains out of direct engagement with the first engagement element during dispensing, and only at the end of dose dispense directly engages the first engagement element to provide a rotational stop. A drug delivery device incorporating the dosing mechanism is also disclosed.
