Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Acceptability score [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Acceptability score evaluated by the parent(s) of the child (2-6 years old) and by the child (4-6 years old)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of children with acceptable acceptability score (neutral to positive scores) [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Neutral to positive scores reported by the parent(s) of the child (2-6 years old), and by the child (4-6 years old)

  2. Distribution of the scores related to the ease of administration [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Score reported by parent(s), based on a 5-point Likert scale,

  3. Distribution of the scores related to the ease of preparation including the ease of constitution of the liquid form and the ease to follow the prescription [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Score reported by the parent(s) based on a 5-point Likert scale,

  4. Score related to the usefulness of the dispersible form, compared with the tablets currently used [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Score reported by the parent(s), based on a 5-point Likert scale

  5. Free comments collected by the investigator [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Questions from child/parent, reactions before/after drug intake

  6. Number of adverse events [ Time Frame: At Day 1 (inclusion visit at study drug administration) ]
    Number of adverse events and percentage of patients reporting at least one adverse event
