HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This is not a known side effect of this medication.
Urinary frequency can be related to : (1)infection of the urinary tract- bladder, urethra, ureter, kidneys or prostate
(2)enlargement of the prostate
(3)diabetes
(4)side effect of some medications but not this particular one. Diuretics have this side effect

If none of these is the likely cause then your doctor should be able to assess you to find out the problem.
This would involve physical assessment (including examination of the prostate), urine analysis and , depending on findings, imaging such ultrasound.
I hope this helps , feel free to ask any other questions
