No. Never give a cat human medicine as it will do more harm than good. It is very easy to overdose a cat with pills meant for humans.
Cats usually contract urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food (a cat has evolved to get moisture from its food and so have a low "thirst drive") or overly stressed. Vets normally give some form of antibiotics to the owner to give to the cat over the course of a week or so to kill off any infection.
However, the most important treatment, aside from the antibiotics, is to increase your cat's water intake. Feeding some (or more) wet food and/or providing a water fountain to entice the cat to drink more water are two very good options.
If your cat is male, it is especially vital to make sure he is thoroughly hydrated. Male cats are much more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's).

What are all the health issues that spayed female cats can have that makes them urinate anywhere but the littlerbox?
The cat could have a Urinary Infection (UTI). Passing urine will be painful for the cat, who will associate the pain with the litterbox, so will urinate elsewhere in attempt to relieve the discomfort. However, this is just one possibility. It is highly recommended that you take her to the vet immediately, who can diagnose and treat her. UTI's are often cause by stress or dehydration. Many cats who are fed only dry food do not get enough water, causing the urine to become too concentrated and bacteria to form. In the cat of a UTI, most cats are put on a course of antibiotics and advised to be switched to a mainly wet food diet so that the cat gets an adequate moisture intake.
