My source for one year Reclast and 4mg as effective as 5mg is conversational. The doctor who ran the clinicals speculated that the reason for leaving Reclast at 5mg might be commercial--to keep it separate from 4mg Zometa adverts for cancer. I wish he'd write a book.
The package insert for Reclast indicates that the optimal time for use is unknown and advises continuous reevaluation in each patient.
And even lower dosages are effective. I uploaded 2 files as I don't recall which is the one you might be most interested in.
