Is Hills Prescription Diet C/D food actually good for urinary issues in cats or should I look for alternatives?

I've been feeding my cat Hill's Prescription Diet C/D to help manage her urinary issues, but I'm beginning to wonder how effective it really is. We've noticed some improvement, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best option in the long run. Do you think this food is genuinely beneficial for urinary health, or would you recommend trying something else to ensure she gets the best care possible?
