What Precautions Need To Be Taken After An IUD Insertion?

I have been prescribed three Misoprostol tablets to take tonight and tomorrow morning before having an IUD inserted tomorrow. I m supposed to go on vacation (pool and hot tub) in three days. I remember some directions about not taking a bath after taking this prescription the other time (before an invasive sonogram thingy) but don t remember for how long after taking that medication I was at elevated risk of infection. Please advise.
