The present invention relates to a platelet aggregating agent containing amorphous polyphosphate as an active ingredient, wherein the polyphosphate is a Ca salt of polyphosphate. The platelet aggregating agent acts on damaged gastrointestinal mucosa in inflammatory bowel disease and exerts a platelet aggregating action, thereby allowing remission/improvement of the inflammatory bowel disease.
