- 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)
- 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)
- 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,
- 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,
- 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
- 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
- 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
