Does Intuniv Cause Frequent Urination In Children ?

Does Intuniv cause frequent urination in children? My son is 6 and started Intuniv about a month ago. We've been gradually increasing the dose every two weeks. He started at 1 ml in the morning and 1 at night. Then we increased to 1.5 ml (morning and then again at night). Now we are doing 1.75 mls twice a day and he runs to the bathroom every 10 minutes. We had him urine cultured and everything came back negative.
