Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

During the 2008 Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated Growth Stock Conference, held in Chicago, IL on May 13, 2008, Dr. John Plachetka, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of POZEN Inc. (“POZEN”), stated that POZEN expects 3,500 GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) sales representatives to detail the launch of Treximet™, the FDA approved product for the acute treatment of migraine attacks developed by POZEN in collaboration with GSK. Such statement included an inadvertent error. POZEN estimates that approximately 2,500 GSK sales representatives are expected to detail the launch of Treximet. Additionally, POZEN management present at the conference reaffirmed POZEN’s guidance relating to expected Treximet sales royalties to POZEN as recently disclosed in POZEN’s May 8, 2008 earnings release ($5 to $9 million in royalties for Treximet sales) and reiterated that this royalty estimate may be revised when the trend of actual sales is determined. *
