A remedy for hyperuricemia which comprises a hydantoin derivative represented by general formula (I) or a salt thereof as the active ingredient, wherein Q represents cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, 2,5-dimethylthien-3-yl, indan-2-yl or 2,5-dichlorophenyl. The uricosuric agent exerts a potent uricosuric effect on an animal experiment model while sustaining or gradually increasing the urine volume. Further, it has a low toxicity. Thus it is useful in the treatment of hyperuricemia or in the treatment and prevention of gout. It is expected that the effect of the uricosuric agent of sustaining or gradually increasing the urine volume would relieve the load on a patient of taking a large amount of water.
