Is it ok to give cats human medicin?

So the vet gave me this medicin for my cat, I'm supposed to give it to her orally with a syring.

I decided to read the pamphlet/booklet, see if it's ok to give to my other cat.
Upon reading it I descovered that it's information consisted of humans use it, and nowhere did it state anything about animals.

Come to think of it, I could swear I've seen the same box cover in my 83 (year old) grandfathers medicin cabnet.

It says it's a substance naturally found in breast milk, this is what's written on the front:

"Medacef 125

cefaclor 125 mg/5 ml

Oral suspension

Antibiotic"

beneath is a a cartoon drawing of a tiger, with fruits underneath him.


Is it really ok to keep giving this to my cat (nunu) ?
