Is Frequent Urination The Side Effect Of Having Hydrocortisone For Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia?

My 5 year old is taking hydrocortisone for non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We have recently noticed an increase in her frequency to urinate. She runs to the washroom every 10 to 15 minutes throughout the day. Is this a common side effect of the steroid?
