Here's the sentence: "In caso di primo trattamento, è opportuno raggiungere la posologia completa dopo qualche giorno di trattamento, incrementando gradualmente il dosaggio". I don't think they're talking about first-line treatment in this context, I think they just mean the first time the patient is receiving the treatment, but I am not so sure. What do you think? Thanks!

first-time treatment/;administration
From the context of the sentence, it sounds like they're talking about the first-time administration of a given medication, increasing the dose gradually over the first few days.

Here's one example of this possible interpretation:
"For first-time treatment:
* Adults: At first, 2.5 milligrams (mg) of glipizide and 250 milligrams (mg) of metformin once a day with a meal. Then, your doctor may increase your dose a little at a time every two weeks until your blood sugar is controlled. "
(In other words, both Alex and I agree with YOUR interpretation.)

Lirka
: I agree with your reasoning and translation, but proposed a rephrased sentence for added clarity.

Thanks ... and now she has another option. Maybe also "If this is the first time the medication is administered ..."

When the treatment is first introduced/initiated,...
For added clarity, I'd rephrase and say sth along the lines:
"When the treatment is first introduced/initiated, it is indicated/wise to gradually increase the dose over a day or two until the full dosage regimen is achieved."
"When the treatment is first introduced/initiated, it is indicated/wise to gradually increase the dose over a day or two until the full dosage regimen is achieved."

...Dimenticavo, Elizabeth: assolutamente sì, la tua interpretazione dell'italiano è giusta, si tratta di pazienti **che non hanno mai ricevuto prima** (naive, appunto) quel trattamento, è la prima volta che lo ricevono. Nulla a che fare con "first-line/first-choice treatment", :)
