Results:  This case reports several side effects such as confusion, difficulty concentrating, and  slow response experienced by a 75-year-old elderly patient who consumed ropinirole 2 mg as a therapy for Secondary Parkinsonism. Before using ropinirole, the patient had used levodopa-benserazide, trihexyphenidyl, and pramipexole to overcome Parkinson's for more than 3 years. During the period no side effects occurred. Side effects occurred after ropinirole therapy was given to patients.  The analysis using Naranjo Scale shows a score of 6 which means Probable.  Conclusion: The aim of this study is to raise awareness for health workers, especially pharmacists in order to increase alertness in patients using long-term medications such as those with Parkinson's.Keywords: side effect, secondary parkinsonism, ropinirole, elderly
