It means: "you need it to sugarcoat this."
"Addolcire la pillola" is an idiom. It means to sugarcoat something. Literally it means "to sweeten the pill" (it's also an idiom in the English language). The figurative meaning is "to make an unpleasant or painful necessity more palatable".
So another way for translating is : "you need it/this to make this unpleasant thing more palatable"..
