Ditto. I've used it to start several tanks I needed to add fish to quickly. After the three days, never used it again, and have never had any issues.

The bacteria ya add will start reproducing every 12-18 hours, dependent on "food", alkalinity, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen and a few other factors. They reproduce by binary fission, in other words they split in half to form two new critters, and are attached to the surfaces in the tank and the media in the filter. There is very little nitrifying bacteria suspended in the water column, nothing more than what may have incidentally been scraped off of a surface, so any bacteria removed during a water change is incidental. There is no need to continue adding it after water changes once the nitrifying bacteria colony is established.
